Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Magnum Countdown 18, 2 1/2oz S (Silver) fishing lure #21085

Silver (S) foil finish creates a highly reflective surface on this 7" (18cm) Estonian-made trolling lure. Rated 4/5, the specimen's exterior varnish is completely intact, though a small cosmetic stain appears on the foil layer deep beneath the coating. Weighing in at 2 1/2 oz (70g), this Rapala Magnum Countdown 18 (product code 21085) is weighted for sinking and deep-water work. The oversized metal lip allows the body to reach depths of 14.8-17.7 ft (4.5-5.4 m), making it a formidable choice for pike, catfish, and saltwater predators like tuna. Stainless steel hardware and stout treble hooks ensure reliability when battling the heavy-hitting fish this model is known for.
